Lemon and Blueberry Muffins

And so the obsession with vegan baking continues yet again. I whipped these up on Sunday morning and have to say they were my best batch yet. The recipe was adapted from my latest website discovery, The Daily Green but I wanted to keep it vegan and so substituted the egg for ground flax, a trick well learnt from the Post Punk Kitchen. Here is the original recipe.

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and slowly mix in the rapeseed oil, followed by the applesauce then the lemon juice and agave. Finish by adding the lemon zest, vanilla essence and frozen blueberries.

Place in a muffing tray and bake for around 20-25 minutes or until the muffins have risen, started to brown and a knife comes out clean through the middle.

Ah another PPKer!(have you bought any of Isa's cookbooks yet?) And I have also just discovered the Daily Green! When you make your first tofu bung some of the okara into the muffins - it makes them even yummier. Personally I do not bother with the flax. I too am addicted to vegan baking!

About Me

Since moving to Portobello Road in late 2007, my kitchen there has become my haven. With an abundance of fresh fruit, vegetables and fish to be found right outside my front door in the world famous Portobello Market, I have taken immense pleasure in creating healthy, nutritious and tasty meals for me and my partner.
I believe in healthy eating. I believe that good food is the key to many things. I believe it is not only the key to good health, to energy and vitality but also that food made with love is a vital part of that big complicated picture which creates happiness. I believe in eating organic, seasonal food where possible. I believe in eating whole and unprocessed foods. I believe in the principles of food combining in general. I believe in the incredible health giving powers of juicing fresh fruit and vegetables. I believe in limiting the amount of wheat, salt, sugar, dairy and red meat in my diet. I believe in eating my greens every day.
I also believe in breaking all of the above rules every now and again!
